I have Malignant Melanoma, my son had Testicular Cancer

A little of each other

“We all take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other everywhere.”

Everywhere we go, somehow you are with us. You come along for the ride, for the adventure, or even for the mundane.

Although you are not physically with us, you remain in my heart forever.
Your DNA is within me, and mine within you.
In my handbag are little white feathers that I have found, and tucked into a zipped pocket, wrapped up safely, is the Frankie Angel bear.
When we drive in Dad’s car, your seatbelt is done up, and it shows on the dashboard that there is a passenger in the back, where you used to sit. Where your spirit now is seated.
I carry your photograph in my bag too, a happy, smiling face.
And of course my phone is full of photo memories of us all.

So, wherever we now go, I’ll always have a little bit of you, with me.
Forever.

This is one of my favorite quotes. It’s beautiful and so true! It’s so sweet the way you honor your son in simple but extremely loving ways. My mom loves feathers and views them as a sign of hope and angels, especially white ones. ❤
